You may know this situation: You killed your waiting time at the hairdresser’s by reading a fashion magazine. An article suggested going beyond the typical neutrals and spicing up your style with a colored motorcycle jacket. On your way to your car, you saw a sales rack with a colored leather jacket. Being in a good mood, you tried it on for fun. It has a perfect fit, and you looked great with your dark jeans, black pumps, white T-shirt, new haircut, and that colored hide. Because you loved what you saw in the mirror, and the price was right, you bought the jacket. Now, what to wear with a colored leather jacket? This post features various pink leather jacket outfit ideas as an example of how to style the colored ones.

Why I Bought this Pink Leather Motorcycle Jacket
Do you remember that Telecom ad with the brunette in a telecom-pink motorcycle suit? I always wished Telecom would have sold them! The look is just so edgy and sexy! Loved it! Therefore, when I saw the item, I had to buy it.
How to Make a Colored Moto a Wardrobe Workhorse
Now, how to style the color jacket beyond dark jeans with a T-shirt and pumps? That …. article did not speak to that point! No, you don’t need to repeat that initial sale-making look. Here is the solution to your “problem.”

To illustrate how to solve the styling challenge of a colored moto, I feature a hot pink leather jacket. I bought this statement piece in a consignment store for just a couple of bucks. When I saw it, I got excited about the color. Well, as a long-time reader, you know that I love leather since my toddler years.
Try Color Blocking
This color works well with purple. Other modern-looking pairings are pink with brown (instead of the 1980s classic black). In summer, the color looks very feminine with white. Wildcard? Another way how to wear pink is to pair it with forest green and a pop of white. A great Alaska winter landscape color combination.

Tip: Pink and camouflage look great together.
Leather Skirt Suits Are Having a Moment
The fall trend I love the most is wearing the leather suit look. Since unmatched suits are so much more interesting than matching pieces, I went for an unmatched suit. When I bought this new fuchsia skirt, I had three different outfits in mind. Yes, the new OOTD of this post wasn’t among them. It occurred to me when I hung the new item in my closet.

Use the Colors of a Print as Inspiration
Interestingly, it wasn’t the color wheel that inspired the outfit above. It was the abstract floral print top. When holding the skirt to a sweater, the cardigan fell off the shelf and fell on my favorite summer pumps. I realized that the print has the colors of all three items. Therefore, I immediately hung the pieces together on my “ready-to-wear” outfit place.
